What has most helped your osteoarthritis? drugs, pt, aspirin?

All: Thanks, mick, i don't have osteoarthritis. But if i did, i would use a combination of physical therapy and drugs. The oldest (and still works) is aspirin.

All: A balance of exercise, physical therapy, weight control, medication and injections can help and can contribute to preventing surgery. Each person has a different type of involvement and a different outcome.

Physical activity!: Physical activity helps the most! it is declining. Obesity hurts the worst. It is increasing. Good time to wish you were an orthopedist. DJD of major weight bearing joints is skyrocketing...
